Businesses can improve productivity as well as the bottom line by taking advantage of energy efficiency in office buildings as well as through production processes.

Taking Actions to Become Efficient

Industry surveys indicate that, mainly through procedural and behavioral changes, the average plant can reduce its energy consumption by 10 to 20 percent. Many companies are joining in to do their part in becoming energy efficient.

At the Alliance, we provide numerous forums for the business community to showcase the work it is doing to be energy efficient. Representatives from the business community share their firsthand experiences with implementing energy efficiency throughout their business practices at the Alliance's many speaking engagements, including our annual Great Energy Efficiency Day; Evening with the Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Dinner; and international energy efficiency conference, EE Global.
